Books by Charles Heavysege

Charles Heavysege's chief and best-known work, the long-verse drama and tragedy Saul, was published in Montreal in 1857. It is a powerful presentation of the tormented soul caught in a world of order and universal degree.

Saul and Selected Poems is an original and useful introduction to the work and poetic personality of Charles Heavysege (1816-76), an important but currently neglected nineteenth-century Canadian writer.

A five-act tragedy in blank verse. The play is founded upon the old problem of an unnatural and ill-omened union between youth and age.

The Advocate, an historical melodramatic romance in prose, makes use of English and French antagonisms in Lower Canada.
